128 | Growth Marketing: Where ABM and Demand meet
What happens when you perfectly blend ABM and Demand strategies? Growth. Cat Dutton, VP of Global...
Seeing major growth opportunities in the wake of steep, pandemic-driven cloud adoption, Salesforce wanted a scalable, agile, one-to-few ABM mechanism. One that would help it fully leverage existing and new content as part of a highly bespoke demand-gen engine.
Created by Twogether, the resulting campaign – tailorable across multiple target industries, accounts, and audiences – would outstrip expectations at every turn.
With the COVID crisis having driven a steep rise in cloud adoption, and with no sign of that slowing in the post-pandemic climate, it stood to reason that Salesforce would want to capitalise.
It is, after all, one of the biggest names in the cloud software business.
The company saw significant growth opportunities across seven industries in particular – Construction, Automotive, Software and Services, Transport and Logistics, and Banking and Lending. But it realised there was work to be done in those areas to:
- Increase its brand exposure
- Ensure and nurture rapport with key and pipeline accounts
- Create engagement and interactions with target and newly acquired accounts
- Increase pipeline revenues from marketing and marketing-influenced sources
With C-level decision makers and LoB contacts the target, it felt that a ground-up, end-to-end ABM campaign incorporating a one-to-few cluster strategy was key.
Knowing this would require highly-targeted content based on deep-dive market research and account insight, Salesforce chose Twogether to oversee its creation.
Building an ABM program from the ground-up is no small feat, especially for such an established and renowned brand, but Salesforce's rapidly delivered significant numbers.
All delivered via a single-pane ABM dashboard to give the company total refinement, analysis, reporting, and performance transparency, and helping nurture hand-selected, top tier, 1:1 accounts including Zoom, Nike, Best Buy, and Lululemon.
As we've worked to answer the ‘how?’ of scaling ABM at Salesforce, the team at Twogether have continuously demonstrated the value of their partnership by solving knowledge gaps, supporting our programmatic digital efforts, and offering new and fresh ideas to increase the effectiveness of our ABM account journeys.
Building from our successes in FY21, we're pleased to have Twogether as our strategic agency partner.
